I need to know how long of a belt I need if I bypass the a/c pulley on my 2004 taurus 3.0

SOURCE: NEED TO ROUTE SERPENTINE BELT AROUND SEIZED AC PULLEY ON 2001 TAU

Some Parts Stores Have A/C Bypas Belts you should call around

SOURCE: 2004 ford taurus. Had battery and belt replaced. cuts off

yes on both accounts. you can by pass the compressor by getting a serpentine belt for a non air conditioned car.Why do you feel that the a/c compressor is the problem?

Can't supply the diagram yet but I can tell you that your pulley or tensioner looks like this:

If this is an ac car you will need to get the correct belt and retreive a routing diagram from autzone or the manual. sometimes the pulleys are different for ac versus non ac and you may have to remove an idler to run the belt

Or buy the shorter belt and bypass the whole thing a/c comp.and all.just measure using some string and go buy the belt.
